Provided herein are reactive aromatic molecules (e.g., substituted chrysene heterodimers) encodable as base-four sequences for the design and integrated synthesis of nucleic acids (e.g., DNA, RNA, hybrid DNA/RNA) and associated phospholipid bilayers (e.g., cellular membranes). For example, 3,6,9,12-tetrasubstituted chrysene is coupled with 6,12-disubstituted chrysene through π-electron stacking to form a base-four heterodimer. The orientation of the ring structure of the tetrasubstituted chrysene in this heterodimer comprises a base-two (binary) structure and the relative alignment of the ring structure of the disubstituted chrysene to the tetrasubstituted chrysene comprises a second independent base-two (binary) structure. This collectively results in a base-four (quaternary) complex composed of four independent reaction environments. Methods of using and forming these molecules and systems associated therewith are also described.
A system comprising a first compound comprising a first polycyclic aromatic ring structure and a second compound comprising a second polycyclic aromatic ring structure, wherein the π structures of the first and second polycyclic aromatic rings interact to form a heterodimer,
